4. I was in a plane that depressurized at 31,000 feet.

In 1962, when airlines were allowed to try to set new air speed records. Mine was the last flight to be allowed to try it. The crew of course are trained, but we passengers *did not* put on our oxygen masks. We were thrown, screaming, over the backs of the seats in front of us as the plane dove down to 10,000 feet at a very steep angle. We screamed, but could not hear ourselves or others screaming. I guess because there was no oxygen.
